At the end of the summer season, the popularity of "Inception" has decreased, but the film will be postponed to the National Day file.

Judging from the current box office popularity, if nothing else, it is hopeless to break 5 billion.

However, it should be no problem to surpass the box office of the animated film "Nezha" and rank second in the domestic box office list.

The North American box office is expected to be about 300 million US dollars, and the cumulative box office of other Asian countries and regions has been in Europe and other markets, and the cumulative box office should exceed 300 million US dollars.

It is no problem for this film to break $600 million at the foreign box office.

The cumulative global box office is more than one billion US dollars.

In this way, the box office can enter the top 20 of the global box office list.

The investment is more than 800 million, which is more than 100 million US dollars.

Of course, this is not counting the publicity fee.

However, this movie is clearly another big money-making movie.

Although the film is not the first in the domestic box office list, it is definitely the highest-grossing film in the world for Chinese films.

Its influence cannot be ignored.

This is also why Zhang Sheng's new film has attracted so much attention.

It's not just domestic attention.

Foreign countries are also paying attention.

Therefore, what new actions did Zhang Sheng's new film quickly spread.

The first rumor came out that Ihozin will star in this movie, and then it was rumored that Fang Long and Wu Jie will also star in this movie.

Of course, there is also some true and false news.

Some were spread by Changsheng Entertainment.

Of course, there is also a part of the heat.

Now, when it is rumored who will star in Zhang Sheng's movie, it will immediately receive great attention.

This exposure is still very useful for many celebrities.

"Out of cartoons?"

Zhou Zhao looked at Zhang Sheng, a little surprised.

Lu Wenhua next to him fell into deep thought.

He was wondering if it was possible.

Is it possible?

Obviously doable.

Use movies to drive cartoons, and use cartoons to promote films.

As for the TV series, it is clearly not suitable.

Lu Wenhua obviously saw that Zhang Sheng wanted to create a series of movies.

The first one doesn't know the market reaction yet, but he has already set out to build a series of films.

That's a lot of confidence.

"Perhaps the biggest benefit is not in the box office, but in the film and television peripherals." Zhang Sheng said, "With only one movie, it is obvious that film and television peripheral products cannot be sold for a long time. ”

"Film and television peripherals?" Zhou Zhao was a little stunned.

At this time, he understood the real purpose of Zhang Sheng's filming.

Movies, animations, film and television peripherals.

It's about taking an IP to the extreme.

This is also what Changsheng Entertainment is trying today.

However, the premise is that this movie is probably a hit.

"Don't you think that Transformers are a good toy?" Zhang Sheng said, "Don't your children have a car toy? How do those car toys compare to Transformers these days? ”

Zhou Zhao and Lu Wenhua glanced at each other, and then nodded.

Their kids really have a lot of car toys.

And there is more than one.

It doesn't have much to do with boys and girls.

Who says girls don't like car toys?

Is there a head?

Absolutely.

As for the production of related animations, it is obviously nothing for Changsheng Entertainment.

Let the screenwriting department write the animation script according to Zhang Sheng's setting, which is difficult for those in the screenwriting department.

In addition, it is obviously not difficult for the animation department to produce the corresponding animation.

Changsheng Entertainment now has such capabilities.

Perhaps the most important thing to discuss and study today is that this cartoon is aimed at children of that age.

Cartoons are also age-based.

The male and female protagonists of the movie version of "Transformers" are college students.

This is because of the demand for movies.

After all, there are few movies today that don't have love elements.

If the background is abroad, then it is completely feasible to set the male and female protagonists as high school students.

can be put in China, and falling in love in high school is early love.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng set it as a freshman.

Cartoons obviously don't need to be like that, though.

Not to mention high school students, junior high school students, and elementary school students.

How to set it up needs to be modified according to the market.

Even college students are not impossible.

There are a lot of cartoons for adults these days.

The animation adapted from the online text is still very popular on the Internet.

Those obviously don't have a low annualization.

At the beginning of October, "Inception" was drawn around the world.

won 4.8 billion at the box office in China, ranking second on the box office list.

The foreign box office is as previously speculated, with a cumulative box office of more than $600 million.

This undoubtedly broke the foreign box office record of Chinese films, and it directly doubled.

Previously, the most grossing "Terminator" in China was only more than 200 million US dollars.

And the film's foreign box office, the one that contributed the most is undoubtedly the North American box office.

The box office of nearly $300 million is enough to compare with many Hollywood blockbusters.

In second place is Japan.

After all, it is the third largest film market in the world.

What's more, people have a good life.

"Inception" ranks 17th in the global box office list.

This is also the first time that a Chinese-language film has entered the top 20 of the global box office list.

This film is also of great significance for Chinese-language films.

Soon after the film was refined, "Terminator 2" was the first to start.

Zhang Sheng took the time to attend the film's launch conference.

"The Terminator" has a dazzling box office performance, and it is the first Chinese-language film to break 100 million at the North American box office.

The sequel to this film obviously has a lot of "money" to it.

The number of investors has increased a lot.

Why didn't Zhang Sheng direct it himself?

This is the doubt of many movie fans.

Naturally, media reporters asked at the press conference.

"Why don't you direct Terminator 2?" Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "The lack of skills in the doppelganger is one thing. In addition, the main thing is to change the director to bring freshness to this series of films. ”

"Actually, I don't like to make sequels. Always making a series of movies is easy to make one's thinking rigid. Zhang Sheng said, "Of course, the reason why "Resident Evil" was filmed twice is because I was going to shoot the two at the beginning of the film. Therefore, "Resident Evil 3" also changed directors. ”

"Changing a director and injecting fresh blood into this series can increase the activity of this series, which is also responsible for fans."

Zhang Sheng said a lot of reasons.

In fact, the main reason why he doesn't make a sequel is nothing more than that he can make a lot of movies.

can't shoot it, where is there still the interest to shoot a sequel.

After the launch conference, Zhang Sheng was pulled by Xu Rui to make a cameo in the movie.

Zhang Sheng did not refuse.

In the first part, Wu Jie's cameo role died.

He didn't have a cameo role.

It's just a scene, and it doesn't take much time.

"Resident Evil 3" followed suit, and Zhang Sheng also participated in its launch conference.

At the press conference, he was asked questions similar to Terminator 2.

Zhang Sheng's answer was similar.

At the end of the press conference, Wu Xian also pulled Zhang Sheng to make a cameo in the film.

You can't favor one over the other.

Zhang Sheng agreed.

And then I regretted it.

His cameo role is a zombie.

The kind that wears makeup for half a day and appears for less than half a minute.

The zombie who was hit and killed by a car at the beginning of the game directly received a box lunch.

I also gave him a close-up when I was shooting.

Although it is a zombie, fans should still be able to recognize Zhang Sheng's cameo at a glance.

If Wang Jun and others know, it is estimated that there will be a sentence: Heaven is good for reincarnation, and the sky will spare anyone.

"When will your new film start?" Gu Sisi asked.

Perhaps because of Gu Sisi, Zhang Sheng stayed in the crew of "Resident Evil 3" for a relatively longer time.

His new film is still in the preparatory stage, and he doesn't have to do everything himself.

"It's going to be the beginning of next year." Zhang Sheng said, "What, do you want to make a cameo in the film?" ”

"How long has it been in the running?" Gu Sisi asked.

She thought that Zhang Sheng's new film would start at the end of the year.

As for the cameo, if she has time, she naturally doesn't mind.

"Preparation is one thing." Zhang Sheng said, "The actor's schedule is also a reason. ”

Of course, the main reason is the preparation.

Transformers will not all be made with special effects, and props will be used during filming.

Gu Sisi nodded when he heard this.

Although she does not participate in this movie, Wu Jie, the male protagonist of "Resident Evil 3", wants to participate.

And if this movie goes well, it can be completed before the Spring Festival.

If it doesn't go well, it is estimated that it is possible to spend the Spring Festival in the crew.

Even if Zhang Sheng's new film is started in advance, it will be troublesome to shoot under the schedule conflict.

It appeared when "Inception" was filmed before.

"Where's the heroine?" Gu Sisi asked.

The heroine of "Transformers" has not yet been decided.

Zhang Sheng said that the temperament of the artists and female artists under Changsheng Entertainment does not match, and they are a little less sexy and a little less youthful and energetic.

"I'm going to go to film school." Zhang Sheng said.

There are actually quite a few crews who go to film school for casting.

However, compared with Zhang Sheng this time, there is obviously a big difference in momentum and influence.

Zhang Sheng was born in Yenching Film Academy, and the first choice is naturally Yenching Film Academy.

"Teacher Feng!"

Zhang Sheng returned to the film academy, and in addition to the school leaders, his former teacher Feng Lan also came.

The school still attaches great importance to Zhang Sheng's casting this time.

Of course, it is not because of the star-making ability of Zhang Sheng's films.

The key is still on Zhang Sheng.

The film school has produced many stars and directors.

But when it comes to achievements, it must be Zhang Sheng.

The point is that Zhang Sheng is still very young.

Being young means that he is far from the peak of his achievements today.

Yenching Film Academy is going to produce an international director.

Perhaps, Zhang Sheng is already an international director.

This has brought unimaginable benefits to Yenching Film Academy.

Not to mention anything else, it is much easier for Yenching Film Academy to recruit students because of Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng has long been on the outstanding alumni wall of Yenching Film Academy.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I have to call Director Zhang when I see you again." Feng Lan smiled and said.

Among the students she taught, there were many smashes by the crew.

There are also those who directly withdraw from the circle.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

It's already internationally renowned.

She still remembers that a few years ago, Zhang Sheng asked her to take a leave of absence to participate in a music program.

At that time, he said that he wanted to earn money to make movies.

She didn't care, thinking that she was going to go further and further on the road of being a singer.

But I didn't want what he said to be true.

It's only been a few years, he has made money, and the movie has been made.

Who would have thought?

A directing student who debuted as a singer has such an achievement in a short period of time.

The entertainment companies he founded with the money he earned from singing have now become the top companies in the circle.

Is

I am so lucky to have taught such a student.
